There are quite a few differences between the cameras, including sensors along with various other bits of functionality. I thought it would avoid confusion by creating a separate thread, and thought that was the way of things in this forum ( there are numerous other threads about specific camera bodies). Besides this thread is 45 pages in now, and it would make it easier to find stuff specific to the M3. That was my thinking anyway, but I'm not overly bothered if you want to keep everything in one thread.Why don't we keep all the m talk in one place do we really need two threads?
Looks smart in white. Can I ask what wrist strap you have on it? Looking for decent wrist strap for mine and that one looks good.

Looks like you got a great shot from Top of the Rock at sunset, how did you manage to avoid the hordes?I'm just back from a long weekend in NYC for my girlfriends 40th birthday and with our 2.5yo daughter.
Decided just to take the M as I thought I'd have my hands full with a 5D2, and from a quick scan through the shots am very happy. Most were taken with the 22mm although I did pop on the 18-55mm every now and again. I'll try and post a few more once I've had a chance to sift through them, but here's one of my favourites so far.
This will make the total cost for the M3 + EVF from Amazon via Tenso £328 + £33.54 delivery (via PayPal) + £102.09 customs charges = £463.63 compared to around £800 in the UK.
Thought this might be useful to others waiting or thinking of ordering this way.
You're lucky. Mine is still awaiting customs clearance.
Nice one, thanks for that, have ordered one today!The official canon black leather wrist strap, got it off amazon for around £20, it's perfect but takes a few trips for it to lose it rigidity from out the packet.
I've just picked up my M3
I thought the same as well with regards to 'replacement' market. I was going to give the M3 a miss but having watched the video, it's tempting!!!!excellent unboxing vid @Wissel . yes quite a bit bigger it looks like Canon might be aiming at the 'replacement' market instead of the 'second camera' one..... interesting.

The joys of being an early adopter lol. [emoji6]Thanks, never tried to do one before.
I've just tried a couple of test shots around the house and so far I'm impressed. The AF is MUCH faster which is a relief and it feels better to hold (to me). The tilt screen works well and I really like the EVF.
Now the battery is flat so off to Argos for the adapter.
@Wissel What was the plate on the bottom of the M you had?

Would it not have been quicker to chop off the original plug and replace it with a 13amp 3 pin plug? That is assuming the charger doesn't push into the wall socket.
Really looking forward to seeing that Kiron in actionOh and my fd-eos adapter has not long arrived this morning,

Nice pics. A good setup for the M for these butterfly shots would be the 55-200 and maybe third party extension tube.@Wissel What was the plate on the bottom of the M you had? Looking forward to seeing stuff from the M3!
Used my M and 18-55 and little flash at the stratford butterfly farm yesterday

Need to go back at some point and get better pics of the butterflies.
Well I went down to the Leeds depot this morning to pick up my M3. I handed over the tracking number and the lady at the counter looked up at me "You do realise it's on the back of a 10 tonne truck don't you?"
"Er.. no. What does that mean. Does that mean I'm not getting it today?"
"Yes"
****MELTDOWN****
"WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, IT'S BEEN SITTING HERE SINCE SIX IN THE MORNING? HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE OFFLOADED IT YET??!? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL DAY YOU LAZY BUNCH OF *@$!*@!!!!"
Ok... not really. I just looked slightly disappointed and the nice lady said I could pay the charges, and she'd leave a message for the night shift to say it was sorted. She's back on duty on Tuesday morning, so she'll make sure it gets to me then. Oh well... I guess I get to enjoy the feelings of anticipation for a few days longer, while I cry at my keyboard watching @Wissel 's unboxing video on repeat...
What was the customs charges on this?
Nice pics. A good setup for the M for these butterfly shots would be the 55-200 and maybe third party extension tube.
So the total cost is around £500 including everything yes? Amazon, tenso, customs etc all amounts to roughly £500.
